Physiology

Simisage is a Grass-type, primate-like Pokémon that is primarily green in coloration. It has a pointed, bush-like crest on its head similar to a Pompadour and broad ears to the sides of it. Simisage also have white eyebrows and shoulder tufts, and a cream-colored face, chest, hands and feet. Its arms, thighs and legs are green, and its tail is long and tipped with leaf-like features.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Behavior

It has a violent temper and will attack with its thorny tail when angered.

Simisage is the only Pokémon evolved via Leaf Stone which does not have dual-typing. All other fully-evolved pure Grass-type Pokémon evolve via Sun Stone.

Origin

Simisage is based on a monkey and a tree; the fact that it is based on both may mean it might be based on the legends of monkey trees or possibly a visual pun on leaf monkeys. Its hairstyle may have been inspired by the Bōsōzoku style.
